Etymology

From bio- + diesel.

Noun

biodiesel (countable and uncountable, plural biodiesels)

  1. Fuel for diesel engines made from renewable organic raw materials, as opposed to fossil hydrocarbons.
    Synonym: bioderv
    Coordinate term: petrodiesel
    • 2006 November 21, Jessica Seid Dickler, “Make your own gas”, in CNN Money:
      Biodiesel is an increasingly popular alternative fuel because it's made by refining oil. Thinner than vegetable oil, biodiesel can power diesel engines without further conversion.
    • 2007, Ayhan Demirbas, Biodiesel: A Realistic Fuel Alternative for Diesel Engines, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 197:
      Biodiesel is a technologically feasible alternative to petrodiesel, but nowadays biodiesel costs 1.5 to 3 times more than fossil diesel in developed countries.
